28/* The Jiffies based clocksource is the lowest common
29 * denominator clock source which should function on
30 * all systems. It has the same coarse resolution as
31 * the timer interrupt frequency HZ and it suffers
32 * inaccuracies caused by missed or lost timer
33 * interrupts and the inability for the timer
34 * interrupt hardware to accuratly tick at the
35 * requested HZ value. It is also not reccomended
36 * for "tick-less" systems.

40/* Since jiffies uses a simple NSEC_PER_JIFFY multiplier
41 * conversion, the .shift value could be zero. However
42 * this would make NTP adjustments impossible as they are
43 * in units of 1/2^.shift. Thus we use JIFFIES_SHIFT to
44 * shift both the nominator and denominator the same
45 * amount, and give ntp adjustments in units of 1/2^8
46 *
47 * The value 8 is somewhat carefully chosen, as anything
48 * larger can result in overflows. NSEC_PER_JIFFY grows as
025dfdaf 49 * HZ shrinks, so values greater than 8 overflow 32bits when
734efb46 50 * HZ=100.
